"General Brenden Hardy, Admiral Robin wants to see you."

General Bren received a call from his secretary.

"Yes, I'm on my way."

General Bren stood and kept all the things that he is working with.

…

At admiral Robin's office.

"General Bren, you must have already guessed why I called you here." Admiral Robin spoke as he looked at him.

He was wearing his woodland military uniform and looked like a middle-aged military man.

Hiss!

Meanwhile, a cute two feet snake is slithering on his shoulders.

However, one cannot be deceived by its appearance. It could only take 'half a bite' to kill a general. At the same time, its poison could also paralyze an admiral for a few days. However, that's not all. If it attacked, it was very hard to spot as it has a formidable camouflaging skill.

"It's because of my allegiance to the great Divine Spirit of Life and Death?"

Judging from his tone, Admiral Robin knew that General Bren is no longer military personnel but a follower of a divine Spirit, instead.

"Yes," Admiral Robin answered as he stared at him relentlessly.

"As expected," General Bren thought to himself.

He was already expecting this. However, he already got his prize and he had to pay the price. Although the prize is rather undesirable, it is still acceptable. After all, the thing that he wanted the most is the safety of his son from the hands of the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, the Lord that he is currently serving, is what he desired the most.

"I wonder why did you defect to…him?"

Admiral Robin asked. However, just like the others, he dares not mention the name or title of the Divine Spirit of Life and Death.

Well, it is not that he can't, it's more that he can't afford to mention it in fear that he will attract the attention of the great one.

"The Sun God Apollo told me to do so."

General Bren narrated what happened back in the Asgardian realm.

"So that's how it is. It seemed that the two of you did not lie."

Admiral Robin grinned.

Of course, General Bren understood what he meant.

"You've already talked to him?"

"Hahaha, we already had him in our custody."

"Oh, I see."

General Bren smiled wryly as he had understood.

"As expected, General Sean is already at your hands."

The general that had worked for them for a very long time had been treated like this. However, this is understandable.

After all, the military is supposed to be the weapon of the human race. With that said, how can they allow someone who had defected with a Divine Spirit?

"Take him," Admiral Robin said. Then, a group of armored men entered and cuffed General Bren.

Their military cuffs are unlike the cuffs that we know. It could restrain the spiritual energy, not allowing them to resist. Of course, the military did not entirely rely on the cuffs knowing that General Bren is a follower of a Divine Spirit.

…

General Bren is sent to the fanciest prison of the military.

"General Bren, they've got you too." General Sean greeted him.

"Indeed."

The interior of the prison is not like the typical prisons that we know. It is akin to a luxurious hotel.

"Hmm, this feels good," General Sean moaned as he lay on his massage chair.

"Come to think of it, it has been a long time since we had relaxed." General Sean said.

"Well, I think this is how the military pays us for our efforts."

"Hahaha, damn right."

Meanwhile, the more General Bren looks at General Sean, the more he notices that he does not seem to be worried that they are in prison.

"You seem not to be worried?"

However, General Sean found this funny, instead.

"Hahaha, do you think our Lord did not know that we're imprisoned?" He then paused as he looked at General Bren. "Your faith did not grow?"

Indeed, he had discovered that his faith did not increase. Well not just him, General Bren also knew that he is not that faithful to the Divine Spirit of Life and Death.

At the same time, to see the other's faith is a fundamental skill of the bearers of a Divine Spirit.

Meanwhile, as he heard it, he went silent because he did not know how to answer.

…

At Allen's shrine in the vicinity of Base 355, Cyrus received a letter

"Hmm, there are still other Divine Spirits in this world?"

He was astounded, at the same time amused, by the sudden discovery.

The paper, without a doubt, came from a Divine Spirit. It contained its strong aura.

"My Lord, I received a letter for you," Cyrus said as he clasped his hand.

Most of the time, a letter from the Divine Spirit could only be opened by its recipient. Otherwise, the message will disappear.

Meanwhile, after the prayer, the letter shone and disappeared.

Cyrus knew that the letter had already gone to their Lord.

After a while, he heard the voice of his Lord.

"Cyrus, bring Orginech and meet the Divine Spirit of Sun and the Divine Spirit of Soul along with the predecessor of the military."

After that, the letter reappeared in Cyrus' hands again.

"Yes, my Lord."

…

Whoosh!

Cyrus and Orginech arrived at a tall mountain.

"This mountain has a rich Divine aura," Cyrus commented.

"Indeed."

Despite how prideful Orginech is, he cannot overlook the fact that the place is indeed rich in Divine aura.

"Welcome, is the Divine Spirit of Life and Death not coming?" Apollo asked an obvious question.

"Unfortunately, my Lord has matters to tend to," Cyrus replied apologetically.

"That is indeed unfortunate." Apollo then turned to Orginech and asked, "you must be the Divine Spirit of War and Glory."

A/N: we'll be changing the Divine Spirit of Battle and Glory to Divine Spirit of War and Glory.

Although Orginech is a new Divine Spirit, his name has already spread to Allen's followers. And, along with the spread of his name, Allen, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death also gained more prestige in the human race.

"Come," Apollo gestured to them.. Then, suddenly, the scenery changed as they suddenly appeared in a majestic hall.
